Paul We delve into the data once again ahead of tomorrow’s fast-approaching Gameweek 26 deadline. Hull’s new Croatian frontman and Palace’s debutant are amongst the assessed, whilst we also examine City’s recent goal drought, Tottenham’s Togolese talisman and a couple of in-form wide men who racked up the weekend returns:
How many people here reckon the game will be called off? It is almost as if Fulham are doing it deliberately to
a)Get Mitroglou fit
b)Stall the Liverpool momentum
c)Get some match fitness after the OT fixture
Surely the FA cant allow them to get away with this...
Are people forgetting that the Arsenal v WHU fixture on Boxing Day was postponed?
Fulham played Sheffield Wednesday in the Cup last week during a tube strike. There was no problem with that.
Maybe they had problems after that match.
Why should they? Fulham fans are just people who live near the ground and can walk home. The Wednesday supporters will have gone by bus or train. There are three overground stations near Craven Cottage, so not a problem.
funny how everyone has a strong opinion on this because of fantasy football. 😆
if it were norwich vs west brom, no one would give 2 f*cks.
Love a good conspiracy theory
You missed
d) to upset fpl players who have SAS and other key personnel
Probably just as plausible
There are precedents to games being called off with pt strikes. Wasn't a game last year on Boxing Day?
i think he's pissed cos of D 😆
Yea last year Arsenal v West Ham was called off due to tube strikes.
I'm not a Londoner, in fact i live in Asia, but I was in London once during a tube strike and I had to get to a game at Wembley. It was still doable but took me a whopping 3-4 hours to get there. Mind you this was a few days into a rather long tube strike...so there was ample time to plan.
If the strike is on the day of the match, i would imagine logistically it would be a nightmare.
I left London 6 years ago, best thing is not having to get the tube everyday
It's a great system in terms of city coverage (compared to melbourne which is terrible) but so crowded and any cancellations causes total over crowding meltdown.
Haha, good one mate!
d) to stop 25,000 people being stranded in West London without adequate public transport.
About 8m people have that exact experience every day in London... 😉
I don't think 8m use the underground. During the strike last week people used other forms of transport - though plenty still used the tube - or worked from home. That said, roads were gridlocked.
Chances of Craig Noone starting tmrw?
Could really do with him playing over Baker for me...
Yay, I bought in Sturridge for the first time and now the game is going to be called off 😀
C'mon Bacuna!!
Regarding the potential postponement, how many of you are enraged because
A) Fulham should respect all EPL teams by going ahead with the game, and not give itself an unfair advantage with the extra rest time. Morally outrageous!
B) Dammit Fulham, go ahead with the game, i have 2 or 3 Liverpool attackers (and captain!) in my fantasy team!!!1!!1
B for sure. More annoyed that I had 2 free transfers and spent them before this news came out. Now will only have 9 playing if game is called off.
Worst of all, i'm going to have to get out of bed early to find out.
Damn that getting out of bed early bit! Unfortunate about the 2 transfers...price changes must have forced your hand. Owell, that's this season for ya.
I'd like a bit more notice, not because I am a travelling fan but because I will be asleep between announcement and deadline and won't be able to set my team
So inconsiderate of them 😉
B definitely! Already have Suarez and Sturridge.Bought in Sterling this week to make matters worse.
Just a thought. Cant they play the game tomorrow?
I, for one, want it to go ahead (the tube strike, not the match)... but only because I'm playing catch up and there will likely be point hits galore, whereas I can get 11 players on the pitch whilst saving mt FT...
Same here. The only hit i'm considering is Dzeko > Sturridge, so that would eliminate the possibility of taking a hit.
I'm hoping it gets postponed as well - catching up and ML rivals around me are doubled or tripled up without a playing bench. Fingers crossed.
Me and all Zep. Invested my spare cash in a decent front 8. now's when it will pay off.
Exactly, my front 8 has created some difficult benching decisions, but I got those right...
Things like this and GW28/29, is why I decided to have a strong front 8 on the WC in the first place...
Hope that decision is vindicated...
Here's hoping. Small victories eh? haha
Silva or Hazard as VC should Liverpool game be off?
Same question!!
How many Liverpool players do you have? I have three 🙁
1. Anyone with any Fulham?
I hope game is called off
ML Rival has SSS and no bench 😀
Agreed. Might make up for the bitterness of not captaining Hazard at the weekend
My starting 10 assuming the pool game doesn't go ahead
Marshall
Clyne Azpili Kosc Ward
Puncheon Silva Haz Mata
JRod
Subs: Mannone , Chambers , Sterling , Sturridge , Suarez
No FT and 0.4 in bank . Options include:
A) Save and go with team as it is
B) Sterling to Adam
C) Sturridge to Neg/Benteke/Ade
A
If you could buy any midfielder (price not a factor) apart from - Yaya, Mata, Lallana, Hazard, who would it be?
Was there any indication about kolarov starting?
It looks like he and Clichy are rotated each week, especially this week as the games are so close together.
I'm going to sell him after this week as I think he'll start this gameweek.
I hope game is called off
I don't have Sturridge!!
I hope the City v Sun game is called off.
Any theories on when the FUL vs LIV game is likely to be rescheduled to if it is indeed postponed this week?
Both teams seem free during next midweek....
Hello a (SWA, ful) DGW for Liverpool if so.... (the eternal optimist....)
Next midweek is still GW26
If so it'd be Eriksen and Dzeko out for me. Sturridge and Sterling in haha
Champions League next week, thought they could not play PL Games due to TV rights, although i seem to remember there were a couple last year? Read an article last night where Fulham think it will be GW33 if re scheduled.
Today might lead to a Suarez Dgw with Fulham as one of the games.
100 points.
Here's to hoping it is GW35...DGW with Fulham and Norwich!
Can i have 11 Suarezes pls.
Sadly it won't matter - everyone will have Suarez (c)
Even better if nobody else notices a Suarez DGW.
WHo's not going to notice that though
I know this was asked before but its DZ so what the hell,
(C) if no liverpool?
im thinking Yaya
Mata to silva (c) for free if suare does not play?
why ditch mata? just for a captaincy option?
Adrian
Kosc Azpi Coleman
Hazard Cazorla Mata Eriksen
Suarez Sturridge Bony
Davis | Gabbidon Noone Bruce
1 FT 4m ITB. What should I do?
Planning to do Bony -> Dzeko so that I can have a decent vc candidate
in case LivFul game is called off
Yay?
4mil in the bank. Maybe upgrade your 5th mid
Marshall -> Adrian worthy Transfer?
I should be able To save Next Weeks Transfer if Nothing urgent happens.
If Pool Game is off, I keep Marshall and do Bardsley -> Demel To get Better eleven for This gw.
That sounds obvious, but benching dilemma There if ful-liv Game is on.
That's Why My "priority" is wh Keeper.
Could save tranny, but Then again, Can't See Marshall keeping cleanies.....wc mistake that.
Looks like I need a minor miracle to get 11 out this week if the LIV game is called off.
Best move?
A) stick and hope
B) Whittaker -> Collins/McCartney (4 points)
C) Something else
Szczesny
Kolarov, B Davies, Clyne, Whittaker
Hazard, Silva, Mirallas, Lallana, Puncheon
Benteke
Davis, Terrry, Suarez, Sturridge
Bank 0.2m, 0 freebies
I would at least wait till 3pm before thinking about making trades
Suarez and Studge owners what are you doing if pool game is off?
In my case my thirds striker is bony, playing 4-5-1 kind of scares me...
Would really like the game to go ahead.
Wouldn't have any issues with putting out 11 but Porridge was a nice little differential and that too against Fulham and only 1 FWD is a real disadvantage.
It will go ahead. Hardly a big enough crowd to bother anyone.
Terry Malloy?
Play Olsson or Chambers?
Hull are playing well at home. I'd go Olson as WHAM still have their pony out and Nolan can't go on scoring.
Yeah was thinking that, as Chamber snot being nialed on (though should have the line up). Only concern is Norwich are terrible away
Their last few games, they've been quite decent home and away. As it's a rellie battle, you could chance your arm with a 0-0.
Been mulling over Olson or Demel mark 2 all day long today. The NOR game in 29 is bugging me.
Yeah I'd prefer Demel over all but the GW's I'd need them Olsson has the better (or definite) fixture
I think it's ridiculous... Fulham probably just want a rest? Other London clubs aren't complaining.. I think the game will have to go ahead 100%
Reply fail?
Silva more nailed on
would certainly be fun if Liverpool game is cancelled 😆
Good Day Gents!
Adrian
Kol Kos Yos
Mata Silva Lallana Hazard
Suarez Ade Giroud
Boruc Ki Williamson Ward
Good to go? are subs in order?
Thanks!
After Man City and Arsenal West Brom have conceded the least shots in the box at home. I'm having second thoughts about Hazard(c), assuming Liverpool is off.
